FROM JEFF WAGNER:

Read anything interesting lately?

We felt it fair to tell you that Jeff has worked closely with Peter Steele's surviving sisters for over two years now. They have all read, suggested edits and agreed upon chapters 1-12. Now they wish to pull the plug (i.e. remove their input from the book) because of Chapter 13, the final chapter. We have not been told why exactly.

In our humble opinion, the story just got all the more interesting.

Judge the book (and the author) once you've read it. The book goes on.

FROM PETER STEELE ESTATE: http://fortheloveofpetesteele.blogspot.com/2014/09/family-withdraws-from-grossly-distorted.html

The Estate of Peter "Steele" Ratajczyk has withdrawn their involvement in and endorsement of the upcoming book about Peter Steele's life entitled 'Soul on Fire' by Jeff Wagner.
"Contrary to promises by the author to create a book representing the life of Peter Steele as 'the man and his music', the author's manuscript has included material that the family deems to be not only non-factual, but sensational focusing on the controversy around his life & grossly distorting the truth rather than about celebrating the man and his music as promised.
For that reason, Peter's family, the Estate withdraws it's involvement and no longer wishes to be associated with this project".

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
